Vidyut Jammwal announced his next action movie, Sanak: Hope Under Siege on Republic Day.
This film is an action-packed Commando franchise that also stars Bengali actress Rukmini Maitra, Chandan Roy Sanyal, and Neha Dhupia.
Peepingmoon.com has learned that Sanak is an official remake of Denzel Washington’s critically-acclaimed 2002 Hollywood film John Q.
A source says “Sanak is an action-thriller revolving around a lone hero who fights overwhelming odds in a restricted environment. It’s the official remake of Denzel Washington’s critically-acclaimed 2002 Hollywood film John Q. The film has already gone on floors in Mumbai and will be completed by mid-March to hit cinemas in the second half of this year.”
This is Vidyut’s fifth collaboration with Vipul Shah. Kanishk Verma who directed Gulshan Devaiah starrer Foot Fairy last year is helming the project, backed by Vipul Shah’s Sunshine Pictures in association with Zee Studios.
Stepping into the shoes of Washington, Vidyut Jammwal will play the role of a father whose nine-year-old son is in desperate need of a life-saving transplant. When he discovers that his medical insurance won’t cover the costs of the surgery and alternate government aid is not available, he takes a hospital emergency room hostage in a last-ditch attempt to save his child.
Bengali actress Rukmini Maitra who makes her Bollywood debut with this film will play Jammwal’s wife while the character details of other actors haven’t been revealed yet. The makers are believed to have made some necessary changes in the Hindi adaptation to suit the sensibilities of the local audiences.
Jammwal is expected to wrap Sanak by mid-March 2021.
